Border using Tables not doing what I expected.. help

Hi, I'm not new to HTML, but this latest problem has me puzzled. I'm trying
to use the pieces of a border I created around my web page using tables. Not
so hard right? This may look long but it's really simple.

Each number 1 is a separate corner .gif. Each 2 is a small .gif segment that
needed to be separate due to the gradient detail. I want each number 1 and 2
stationary. Each 3 is a single-wide or high .gif that I want expanded if the
browser window or content expands... seemed simple enough. I wanted the
content "c" in the middle, which is all in a nested table inside the <td> of
the border table.

What happens is that instead of being stationary even though I set a width
and height, each "2" gets repeated over and over the length of the window or
content instead of the "3" that I prefer. The corners at "1" fortunately
work as intended.
